(Video included)American Christian extremism: Tenn. judge changes black infant’s name from ‘Messiah’

Greetings,

 A judge in Tennessee changed a 7-month-old boy’s name to Martin from Messiah, saying the religious name was earned by one person and “that one person is Jesus Christ.”

Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew ordered the name change last week, according to WBIR-TV (http://on.wbir.com/1cDOeTY). The boy’s parents were in court because they could not agree on the child’s last name, but when the judge heard the boy’s first name, she ordered it changed, too.

“It could put him at odds with a lot of people and at this point he has had no choice in what his name is,” Ballew said.

It was the first time she ordered a first name change, the judge said.

Messiah was No. 4 among the fastest-rising baby names in 2012, according to the Social Security Administration’s annual list of popular baby names.

The judge in eastern Tennessee said the baby was to be named Martin DeShawn McCullough, which includes both parents’ last name.

The boy’s mother, Jaleesa Martin, of Newport, said she will appeal. She says Messiah is unique and she liked how it sounded alongside the boy’s two siblings — Micah and Mason.

“Everybody believes what they want so I think I should be able to name my child what I want to name him, not someone else,” Martin said.

Ballew said the name Messiah could cause problems if the child grows up in Cocke County, which has a large Christian population.

“The word Messiah is a title and it’s a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ,” the judge said.

    This Judge is abusing one’s authority playing God who more than likey is blind deaf and dumb to the Identity of who the Messiah Is where the Messiah Is From in scripture so stand down. But I’ll give the Judge a huge Hint ” The Messiah Is An Original Blackman ” From Mount Paran who would come from the east into North America as a thief in the night disguised in sinful flesh(caucasian like) in a prepared body to save that which is lost who is compared to ” The Good Samartian ” to save that which is lost (Black Americans) who have been held hostage for over 400 yrs . This Messiah Figure lived amongst Black and Caucasian Americans for three years who comes after the works of Satan to End this System of Lies Murder Blood shed War monging Lies Down.
